Chinese New Year Cookiessssss

Hi my dear readers..:) Its been awhile since my last post..;p Well as Chinese New Year is around the corner, about 2 weeks time only...I am quite busy with all the yummy cookies..:)

This year is alittle different, which my sister and me will be baking quite alot varieties of cookies.

We want to bake for our parents and friends this year and my mother can have some time to relax since she has been baking for us for many many years.

So I'll be making some traditional ones which we must have during the Chinese New Year and also some very new recipes from my new book. Anyway, all the old and new recipes are very new to me. Why? That's because I never do it on my own before...;p Hmm...actually I'm alittle nervous and a little stress..haha! But luckily all the cookies turned out nicely and yummy. Thanks to my mother's guidance..:)

Here are all the cookies I've baked. And since I don't want to make this post too long, I will only post some of the recipes here. For friends who like to have those recipes I've miss out here, feel free to email me at reesethon@hotmail.com, I'll be very happy to share with you.

The very first one,......Pineapple Tarts!

Ingredients for the Tart's pastry:

250g Butter

140g Margerine

100g Icing Sugar

600g Plain flour

50g Milk powder

4 Egg yolks

1 tbsp Vanilla essence

6 tsps Cold Water (might not need that much)

Mehtod:

~ Mix all ingredients together by hand until becomes a soft dough.

~ Keep dough in the refridgerator for 30 mins before using.

Ingredients for the pineapple fillings:

4 Pineapples (large)

Sugar to taste

1 or 2 cloves

1/2 inch Cinnamon stick

Method:

~ Blend the pineapples, separate the juice. Need only 2-3 cups of juice for cooking.

~ Add in alkl the ingredients together in a pot, and bring to boil.

~ Once boil, lower heat and stir constantly so the mixture won't stick to the base of the pot.

They are gorgeous Reese. Jane made the same thing here and she is facing problem, perhaps you could give her some tips. Not sure whether my suggestion fits right. I like how you made your pineapple tart. It's just a special and different shape than the usual ones.

Thanks Quinn, I like the shape of the pineapple tarts too. That's what my mum used to do..:)Viewed Jane's cashewnuts cookies, but not so sure what's her problem. I'm happy to share with her my recipe too..:)

Yummy good! I can imagine you really spent alot of time baking in your kitchen...so many of them!
